Tiasmyn canyon

Tiasmyn Canyon is a protected natural area following the Tiasmyn River in Cherkasy Oblast, marked by steep rock walls and forested slopes along the waterway. The canyon cuts through the landscape for several kilometers, with layered rock faces that form its distinctive character.

The canyon received protected status in 1995 to preserve the geological features of the Cherkasy region. This designation reflected growing efforts across Ukraine to safeguard natural landscapes and their scientific value.

Local environmental organizations conduct educational programs at the canyon to teach students about native flora, fauna, and geological processes.

The area is accessible by marked trails of varying difficulty that lead along the river and through wooded sections. Signs and rest areas help visitors explore the landscape and learn about its natural features.

The rock walls contain exposed layers showing millions of years of geological history that attract scientists for research. These visible strata make the site valuable for understanding the earth's past and geological processes.
